Shell Risella C Re-engineered Process Oils

Improving process oil sustainability for you and your customers
As they look to meet the shifting demands of consumers and regulators, more and more formulators are searching for process oils that help improve sustainability of their products without compromising on performance. They are under increasing pressure from customers to incorporate more recycled content into their formulations or raw materials. The challenge is that recycled oils are often poorer in quality and consistency than those based on virgin hydrocarbons.
However, with Shell Risella C re-engineered process oils (REPO), you can develop formulations that contain more recycled material and have a lower carbon footprint 鈥 all without compromising on quality. Switching to Shell Risella C enables you to offer products with the quality consistency, performance and sustainability credentials that your customers require.
Shell Risella C Re-engineered Process Oils

Introducing Shell Risella C: Re-engineered for the circular economy
Shell Risella C paves the way for a new generation of circular process oils that can help you and your customers adapt and contribute to the circular economy, reduce embodied carbon emissions and meet the growing demand for more recycled molecules in oil-based products.
Key Benefits
Supports a circular economy
Recycling waste oil reduces the amount sent to landfill, helping businesses to achieve their environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals by reducing water and soil pollution.鈥
Reduced carbon footprint
Production of REPO requires less energy than process oils manufactured from crude oil, helping to reduce the carbon intensity of formulations.鈥
Lower resource demand
The use of recycled waste oil helps to reduce the demand for virgin crude oil and the emissions associated with mineral extraction.鈥
Enhanced Performance
Advanced physical properties, including thermal and UV stability, provide exceptional consistency and performance across a wide range of applications.
Reformulate with Shell Risella C re-engineered process oils
The re-refining technology of waste oil can produce up to 88% usable materials, including high-quality base oils. 卤 Shell Risella C is our newest process oil specifically designed to support circularity and performance with the same exceptional quality every time.

Less emissions than the raw material extraction
Production of REPO produces less emissions than the raw material extraction and manufacture of process oils from crude oil, and therefore emits as much as 35 % less carbon dioxide equivalent.*
